Nine stages in the north of the island in Sunday’s (March 29) Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Shakedown Stages will give crews from home and abroad their first big test ahead of BCIC Rally Barbados 2026 (May 29-31). Fifty-one cars will line up for the first closed-road rally of the season.

  Seeded at number one in the running order published at last night’s (Thursday) Briefing Meeting at the BCTSA Clubhouse, Searles, Christ Church, is Jamaica’s Kyle Gregg (Ford Fiesta Rally2). Victories in BCIC RB25 and the BRC Winter Rally last October contributed to him winning the 4wd Championship.

Jamaica’s Kyle Gregg prevailed in a hard-fought three-way battle for last Sunday’s (October 26) BRC Winter Rally, run in blisteringly hot conditions in the north of the island. He defeated early leader Josh Read by just under six seconds, with Dane Skeete third a further 10secs back after a stall dropped him out of contention for the win.

After six drivers have variously shared the overall lead of the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Driver’s Championship this season, Kurt Thompson will head into next month’s final round as the first exclusive leader of the standings. In a very strong year for local rallying, more than 80 drivers have scored points, with the title to be decided at the BRC Winter Rally on October 26.

With two points-scoring opportunities, the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Double-Header Summer Sprint on Sunday (August 24) will be crucial for success in the 2025 BRC Driver’s & Class Championships. As the season draws to a close, with November’s Winter Rally the ninth and final round, Sunday will play a key role in the outcome of the chase for the Champion Driver title, also for victory in the 10 contested classes.
